Well, that wasn't what we expected, nor what we wanted. Bloody disaster!

In case you're reading this from some far-off future where people (hopefully) don't remember this race very well anymore, know that we had a pretty mess on our hands with bad, avoidable crashes galore. You could call it a lottery, you could call it a farce...but you can't call it racing.

Understandably, Mat and Peter have some thoughts on the matter. What type of thoughts? Well, let's just say that as a producer I always love it when I get to flag an episode as 'explicit' on some platforms. And today? Oh brother, is that box checked.

And if that's a problem with you, just remember that swearing is a perfectly healthy way to deal with stressful days like today. Speaking of stress: how the hell do these riders do it? You know, having to restart the race again and again. Watching horrible crashes and knowing it could be you. It's harder than you think; just listen to Mat talk about the moment he realized his racing days where numbered.

So yes, we have plenty to talk about today. Let's do it!
